My Project

My students need a variety of supplies. We are in need of more ice packs for when students bump into things. Recently, I was thrilled that I had ice packs with me on a trip since a student banged his head. We go on a lot of trips, and I need more ice packs to put in my trip bag. We could use laminating sheets and sheet protectors for games. We are going to be making Valentine's Day cards for homebound senior citizens who receive meals through City Meals on Wheels. We need a variety of heart stickers and pink cardstock paper. Parents will also be joining us for this card making project.

Your donation will provide us with the materials we need for a community service project!
